Natalie Waller - Qualified Dog Trainer
My name is Natalie and I am a qualified dog trainer with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT). I have been working in animal welfare and rescue since 2008.
After enrolling in a Canine Hoopers Instructors course, I soon found my passion. Hoopers is a style of agility training but without the high jumps and sharp bends. I absolutely love teaching it and enjoy watching dogs learn and thrive.
I have now furthered my knowledge in Scent Detection and Mantrailing and fallen in love with dog sports, especially watching owners when their dog gets that they have a ‘job’ to do.
My other passion is puppies and I love learning about the way they tick. I’ve got a wealth of experience in working with puppies and love to work with new puppy families when they need that little bit of extra support.
Give Your Dog a Job To Do
A busy, happy dog means stress-free walks and a more chilled companion!
I'm a Qualified Instructor
As a qualified Canine Hoopers instructor, Scent Detection handler and Mantrailing Global Instructor I’ll get your dogs working their way to a more structured and enjoyable life.
All Dogs Can Participate
Dog Sports are for every dog and, with a little bit of help, we can assist you to calm down your 100mph dog and keep all four paws on the floor!
Dog sports are inclusive for all different skills of dogs and handlers.
Life with a Puppy
I have studied with some of the top trainers in the UK including Steve Mann (Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy Author) and Veterinary Behaviourist, Amber Batson, so I can deliver top-quality courses to assist with your little ones.
Natalie is a knowledgeable, friendly and, most importantly, patient dog trainer. I thoroughly enjoyed her scent detection course. It was great fun and boosted beyond measure the bond with my dog who absolutely loved it. Definitely recommended"
